Flight Rating

Speed is the ability of the disc to cut through the air. Speed Ratings
are listed from 1 to 13. Discs with high numbers are faster.

Glide

Glide describes the discs ability to maintain loft during flight. Discs
with more glide are best for new players, and for producing maximum
distance. Glide is rated from 1 to 7.

Turn

High Speed Turn is the tendency of a disc to turn over or bank to the right (for RHBH throws) during the initial part of the flight. A disc with a +1 rating is most
resistant to turning over, while a -5 rating will turn the most.

Fade

Low Speed Fade is the discs tendency to hook left (for RHBH throws) at the end of the flight. Fade is rated from 0 to
5. A disc rated 0 will finish straightest, while a disc rated 5 will
hook hard at the end of the flight.

Like the name, this disc has
natural turn. Similar to the Archon, the Tern is a fast slightly understable disc that is designed for long shot shaping throws. In the hands of a powerful player, it just may be one of the farthest flying discs due to the long glide and natural turn. The Champion Tern flight numbers reflect a more stable flight. (12/6/-2/2)

The Tern is a long range driver with a great combination of distance and control. I like using it for long, downwind field shots and long anhyzers. At the end of its flight the Tern has a very unique lift that yields an increase in distance over my other long range drivers.

The Star Tern went into my bag immediately and I now carry two of them. It is a great disc for throwing uphill and hyzer flip. It also holds a nice anhyzer line.
